Eagles injury report: Jay Ajayi ruled OUT vs. Colts

The Indianapolis Colts (1-1) on Sunday will visit the Philadelphia Eagles (1-1), who have already ruled out running back Jay Ajayi due to a back injury.

Ajayi, who has scored three touchdowns in the first two games of the season, is the leading rusher for the Eagles. However, a back injury suffered in Week 2 will keep him from playing against the Colts.

Here’s a look at the injury report for the Eagles:

Ajayi and Sproles are a pretty big hit to the backfield for the Eagles. With both of them ruled out, the Eagles will lean on Clement, Wendell Smallwood and Josh Adams.

Grugier-Hill was added late to the injury report Friday when he was listed as a limited participant in practice. It remains to be seen if he will be good to go.

The Eagles star wide receiver in Jeffrey was limited all week and even though he’s practicing, he hasn’t yet been cleared for contact as of Saturday morning.

All-Pro tackle Peters was limited throughout the week until Friday when he was a full participant in practice, which means he’s good to go. Another challenge for the Colts defensive line.

The Eagles will also see the return of Wentz on Sunday for the first time since he suffered the season-ending torn ACL in 2017.
